Shape Changing Robots: Bioinspiration, Simulation, and Physical Realization.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
One of the key differentiators between biological and artificial systems is the dynamic plasticity of living tissues, enabling adaptation to different environmental conditions, tasks, or damage by reconfiguring physical structure and behavioral contr...

Turing Universality of Weighted Spiking Neural P Systems with Anti-spikes.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Weighted spiking neural P systems with anti-spikes (AWSN P systems) are proposed by adding anti-spikes to spiking neural P systems with weighted synapses. Anti-spikes behave like spikes of inhibition of communication between neurons. Both spikes and ...

Neurodynamic modeling of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This manuscript describes neuromechanical modeling of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster in the form of a hexapod robot, Drosophibot, and an accompanying dynamic simulation. Drosophibot is a testbed for real-time dynamical neural controllers model...

Femtosecond laser programmed artificial musculoskeletal systems.

Nature communications
Natural musculoskeletal systems have been widely recognized as an advanced robotic model for designing robust yet flexible microbots. However, the development of artificial musculoskeletal systems at micro-nanoscale currently remains a big challenge,...

Synaptic Iontronic Devices for Brain-Mimicking Functions: Fundamentals and Applications.

ACS applied bio materials
Inspired by the information transmission mechanism in the central nervous systems of life, synapse-mimicking devices have been designed and fabricated for the purpose of breaking the bottleneck of von Neumann architecture and realizing the constructi...

Learning from plant movements triggered by bulliform cells: the biomimetic cellular actuator.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Within the framework of a biomimetic top-down approach, our study started with the technical question of the development of a hinge-free and compliant actuator inspired by plant movements. One meaningful biological concept generator was the opening a...

Detachment of the remora suckerfish disc: kinematics and a bio-inspired robotic model.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Remora suckerfish can attach to a wide diversity of marine hosts, however, their detachment mechanism remains poorly understood. Through analyzing high-speed videos, we found that the detachment of the live remora (Echeneis naucrates) is a rapid beha...

A soft pneumatic bistable reinforced actuator bioinspired by Venus Flytrap with enhanced grasping capability.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Soft actuators, as an important part of soft robotics, have attracted significant attention due to their inherent compliance, flexibility and safety. However, low capacity in force and load limits their applications. Prestored elastic energy can impr...

A bio-inspired robotic fish utilizes the snap-through buckling of its spine to generate accelerations of more than 20g.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Inspired by the fastest observed live fishes, we have designed, built and tested a robotic fish that emulates the fast-start maneuver of these fishes and generates acceleration and velocity magnitudes comparable to those of the live fishes within the...

MagWorm: A Biomimetic Magnet Embedded Worm-Like Soft Robot.

Soft robotics
Emerging worm-like soft robots with various soft materials and different actuation mechanism have been frequently discussed. It is very challenging for soft robots in realizing a fast and untethered crawling. In this article, a biomimetic magnet embe...
